David Weekley Homes Marks the End of an Era in Georgia’s Flowery Branch

An inaugural builder from the launch of a sprawling North Georgia master-planned community in 2004, it seems only fitting that David Weekley Homes would be the one to close out construction at Sterling on the Lake. A gated, active adult section aptly named The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake marks the last hoorah for the award-winning national homebuilder at the Flowery Branch community. Featuring floor plans and amenities from the Encore by David Weekley Homes product line, The Retreat has garnered awards for interior design, building design, and its impressive amenity package, culminating in its recognition as 55+ Community of the Year in 2024 by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. It’s no wonder why only a handful of new construction homes remain inside The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake.

“We launched The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake in 2020 and have enjoyed outstanding success among active adult homebuyers here,” said Adam Cornett, Atlanta Division President for David Weekley Homes. “In addition to a beautiful collection of luxury, low-maintenance ranch homes, the community features a resort-inspired amenity package exclusive to residents of The Retreat. As if that weren’t enough, our Homeowners are also granted access to all the amenities throughout Sterling on the Lake – from the lakeside clubhouse with a full-time activities director to several swimming pools, a wealth of green spaces, playgrounds, lakeside trails, and Lake Sterling. Every day feels like a vacation here. The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake is an ideal reflection of David Weekley Homes’ Purpose of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives. After building here, on and off, for the last 21 years, the completion of Sterling on the Lake truly marks the end of an era for us.

Amenities inside The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake include an award-winning 4500-square-foot clubhouse with a fitness center, adult lap pool, yoga lawn, and tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball courts. Homeowners at The Retreat also enjoy a dedicated HOA and professional lawn care. Final opportunities include several one-story, two- or three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes featuring some of Encore’s most popular floor plans. With prices spanning from the High $500s to the Low $700s, all remaining Quick Move-In Homes are either ready now or will be complete by early June 2025.
